The Marmorated Stink
Bug Season, which began September 1, 2017, will end on April 30, 2018. During
this period, all high-risk commodities are required to be fumigated at origin
to avoid delays and extra costs upon arrival in Australia.

If you are unsure if your goods fall into the high-risk category please contact
your local DGX office or check the commodity list on the below homepage.

Matson Navigation Company (“Matson”) announced that due to a
steady increase in fuel-related costs over the last three (3) months, the
current fuel surcharges are changing. Accordingly, Matson will increase their
ocean fuel surcharge by 1.5 percentage points. The fuel surcharge for Hawaii
will be increased from 28.5% to 30%, for Guam from 29% to 30.5%, and for CNMI
from 34% to 35.5%, all effective with sailings on or after Sunday, March 18,
2018.

Because of
this increase in our underlying costs, we are changing the fuel surcharge charged
to you to reflect this 1.5% adjustment, effective with sailings on or after
Sunday, March 18, 2018.

By making
the above rate changes, we are able to maintain our service levels as well as
the financial stability you would expect and want from your service provider.
We apologize for any inconvenience these changes will cause you.

additional questions or scheduling concerns, please contact your local office
